How do I connect MeltKit to my AI agent?
MeltKit MCP is MeltKit's official MCP server. Add it to your agent once, then ask it to design and export MeltKit backgrounds on your own machine.
Your agent can make MeltKit backgrounds, preview them and save the files. It all runs locally, with no account and nothing sent to a cloud service.
MeltKit gives each account its own server address. Open the setup guide, copy your address, then add it to Claude Code like any other server.
It runs on your computer, so Claude Code starts it when it needs it.
MeltKit's setup guide covers the sign-in.
